TEKS P6.C and P6.D
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Momentum | A property a moving object has because of its motion and mass. |
Formula for Momentum | p = mv Momentum = mass x velocity |
Impulse | A change in momentum. |
Formula for Impulse | J = Ft Impulse = force x time |
Elastic collision | When two objects collide and are separate after the collision. |
Inelastic collision | When two objects collide and are stuck together after the collision. |
Law of conservation of momentum | In an isolated system, the total momentum of two objects before a collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision |
